The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7155, aims to establish a working group tasked with studying the creation of uniform deadlines for filing applications for property tax relief specifically for individuals aged sixty-five and older, as well as veterans and members of the armed forces. The working group will be convened by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management and will include representatives from municipal assessors and other relevant individuals deemed necessary by the Secretary. Initial appointments to the group must be completed within thirty days of the bill's passage, and the Secretary will also serve as the chairperson, responsible for scheduling the first meeting within sixty days.

The working group is required to submit a report by January 1, 2026, which will analyze the feasibility of establishing uniform deadlines and provide legislative recommendations. The group will dissolve upon submitting this report or on January 1, 2026, whichever occurs later. The bill introduces new legal language to create this working group and outlines its structure and responsibilities, while no deletions from current law are specified.
